Geological and oceanographic constrains on the deposit of ferromanganese nodules on the archipelagic aprons of seamounts

This study used datasets such as depth, backscatter intensity (BI), and optical coverage in conjunction with mineralogical, element geochemical, Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic, and chronological analyses of the nodules of the Suda Guyot (SG), which was located on the central area of the Marcus-Wake seamounts, northwestern Pacific Ocean.
